Funder Island

Eighteen holes of proper miniature golf await on this course that's become a bit of a Woolacombe institution. The setup is classic seaside mini golf - windmills, bridges, and the odd water feature that'll swallow your ball if you're not careful. Nothing too fancy, but well-maintained and genuinely fun for the whole family.

Kids absolutely love it here, and even teenagers who normally roll their eyes at such things seem to get competitive once they're holding a putter. The course isn't enormous, so reckon on about 45 minutes to an hour for a full round, depending on how seriously everyone takes their putting.

Location-wise, you couldn't ask for better if you're staying at one of the nearby holiday parks. Golden Sands Touring Park is practically next door, making this a perfect evening activity after a day on Woolacombe's stunning beach. The other parks along this stretch - Woolacombe Bay and Woolacombe Sands - are all within easy walking distance too.

Honestly, it's nothing revolutionary, but sometimes that's exactly what you want. Good honest fun that doesn't cost the earth and gives everyone a chance to show off their putting skills. Well worth popping by if you're in the area.
